Welcome Letter
Dear Fellow Investor,
The San Francisco Bay Area Chapter of BetterInvesting
welcomes you as a member of the National Association
of Investors Corporation. The national office forwarded
your name and address to us in order to acquaint you
with our services. You are automatically a member of
your local BI chapter, at no extra cost!
The San Francisco Bay Area Chapter is the local arm
of the non-profit BetterInvesting (formerly know as the
National Association of Investors Corporation - NAIC).
The SF Bay Area Chapter is one of over 100 local chapters
chartered by the National Board of BI and is responsible to
it in carrying out the mission of BetterInvesting; to provide
investment education for local investors, to help you learn
the BI investment principles and tools, and to assist investment
clubs with management and accounting. We accomplish this
goal with investment educational seminars, workshops, club
visits and education fairs.
If you are new to BI and investing, our Absolute Beginners or
Why Women Should Invest (men are welcome too!) classes
are good introductions to NAIC and how we evaluate a stock.
The Stock Selection Guide (SSG) course is our most popular
class and is the basis upon which the rest of our classes are
developed. It is highly recommended for those investors who
want to get started on the right track. We offer beginning,
intermediate and advanced SSG classes.
Visit the BetterInvesting website at <www.betterinvesting.org>
where you will find a host of resources and information. Check
out the 'What's New' section. You can join the I-Club Chat List,
where knowledgeable BI members across the country discuss the
latest investment topics, or you can download demos of the BI
investment software.
Each Chapter is intended to be self-supporting so we charge
minimal fees for most programs to cover copying, room expenses,
equipment and director training. We offer a number of resources
which are explained in our enclosed brochure and on our website,
<www.betterinvesting.org/chapter/sanfran>.
The directors of the San Francisco Bay Area Chapter BI are
volunteers who are dedicated to helping novices, as well as
seasoned investors become confident in the investing world.
We always welcome new volunteers to work with us so that
we may expand our programs. Training is provided.
Get to know your Chapter's Directors and our many volunteers.
We are all here to help you become better investors! It doesn't
matter if you are in a club, looking for a club, or happy as an
individual investor - the 20 volunteer SF Bay Area Chapter
Directors are here for you.
Please feel free to contact us for further information or to answer
questions.
Once again, welcome and we hope to hear from you soon.
